We have Confessions to make…

We have a confession to make…
Confessions II is Madonna’s biopic, allowing her to tell her story on her own terms.

EPISODE 492

The queen of pop has returned this summer with Confessions II: an album full of huge hooks, pounding bass, and sincere emotion. It’s Madonna’s first record in seven years, and serves as a sequel to her 2005 smash hit, Confessions on a Dance Floor. The record ties together threads that have existed throughout Madonna’s entire discography, but it also serves a greater purpose. Confessions II is Madonna’s biopic, allowing her to tell her story on her own terms.
